012: Trekking Nepal with Kids: Exploring the Himalayas as a Family

Have you ever dreamed of hiking internationally with kids? What about trekking through the mountains of Nepal? I chat with Shannon, who is fresh off the Annapurna Circuit with her six-year-old twins. We talk about what it’s like to trek with her husband’s heart condition, managing -15°C nights in teahouses, how to avoid food poisoning on the trail, and the signs to watch for in case of altitude sickness. This was their family’s second hiking trip in Nepal—they did Everest Base Camp two years ago. Listen in for Shannon’s insights, inspiration, and practical advice!

Places we talked about:
